Quantel will be showing new products, features and facilities across its full range of news and sports, production everywhere and post production systems – all designed to help broadcasters and post houses deliver higher quality content, faster and more efficiently across multiple platforms.

LiveTouch will be launched at IBC. LiveTouch is a scalable studio highlights system comprising a new server, a new software client, a new panel and new middleware that links clients with content across a server cluster. The panel is purpose-designed to make highlights selection sure, simple and robust. LiveTouch is flexible - easily reconfigured to support different productions across several studios as required. Uniquely, LiveTouch offers bidirectional editor integration direct into the server cluster, speeding operations and simplifying system design.

The company’s Enterprise sQ production systems get a raft of editor improvements, as well as a new eight port version of sQ Record that saves space in crowded galleries and machine rooms. There’s support for XAVC media across the system in both automated and manual workflows and new support for 4K media.

Also new is Fileflow 2 which adds more flexibility, easier IT integration and a faster workflow to Enterprise sQ file i/o. Key improvements are roles-based user accounts making it easier to manage the system, new security features such as folder-based credentials, and FTP client support making it easier to integrate into large IT systems. There’s also a new web-based drag and drop interface which makes it easy for files to be sent to different destinations direct from the editor.

QTube is all about helping broadcasters create content more quickly using relevant media no matter where it is located, and get it to air, web, mobile or tablet wherever it is required. IBC highlights will include a new browser-based InterSite workflow that makes it easier than ever before to add InterSite operations to Enterprise sQ systems.

Genetic Engineering 2 is making its European debut at IBC 2014. GE2 is Quantel’s shared storage solution for post that delivers new levels of flexibility, performance and productivity for Quantel Pablo Rio colour and finishing system users. GE2 has already proved itself as the 4K production hub at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, producing 4K 60p highlights packages for worldwide distribution by Sony as well as working on the official FIFA 4K World Cup film promos. There will be guest presentations on the stand demonstrating the World Cup 4K production workflow featuring some simply stunning 4K footage from the event.

Complementing the IP routing demo on the Snell booth, Quantel will be showing IP-based production using revolutionQ to record and edit live IP streams. Together Quantel and Snell are showing a complete vision for the IP-based facility of the future.

“Our R&D Engineers have been hard at work delivering the developments our customers are asking for,” said Quantel Marketing Director, Steve Owen. “Across the Quantel and Snell booths you can see useful new products that are available today and see a path to a more efficient, more integrated and more creative future. It’s the complete picture.”

ATTO Technology will use IBC to display a broad portfolio of solutions to support the ever-increasing demands of higher resolutions, multiple formats and full integration with a company's IT infrastructure in order to create and monetize content.

This broadcast/IP interaction has impacts across the creation, management and distribution of content, and Thursday’s sessions will examine where we are in the process while considering the all-important issue of spectrum allocation. Also set for discussion are new opportunities for monetisation, with targeted ads and real-time bidding systems opening up. Sessions also look at innovations in news production, and consider the future of rolling news channels.
